Before, After, and Between (to 1,000): what children learn

Counting within 1,000 means knowing which number comes just before and after any number. The tricky spots are near a new hundred, such as 399 and 400.

Before, After, and Between (to 1,000): worked example

What number comes right after 399? 400

One more than 399 is 400. The ones and tens turn to 0, and the hundreds digit goes up. 399 + 1 = 400.

Before, After, and Between (to 1,000): a common mistake to watch for

Kids often get stuck when the count crosses a hundred, like the number after 599.

Before, After, and Between (to 1,000): how to help at home or in class

Lay out index cards on the floor with gaps, such as 398, a blank, 400. Your child picks the missing card from a small pile and says the number out loud. Make a few sets that cross a hundred, like 598, a blank, 600, and a few with two blanks in a row. Once the jump from 599 to 600 no longer causes a pause, skip counting is the natural next step.
